Il luogo dove vivete: influenza la vostra salute tanto quanto la dieta ed i vostri geni, ma questo dato non è presente tra i dati medici. A TEDMED, Bill Davenhall mostra come dati fino ad ora trascurati (dall'incidenza degli attacchi di cuore alle informazioni sulle discariche tossiche) opportunamente incrociati con applicazioni GPS possano aiutare i dottori a mantenersi aggiornati. Chiamatela "geo-medicina".

Bill Davenhall: La vostra salute dipende da dove vivete

A person’s environment shapes health just as powerfully as genetics or lifestyle, yet few doctors ever ask about place history. After surviving a heart attack, the speaker reflected on decades spent inhaling pollutants in multiple cities but found that environmental risks never appeared in his medical records. Billions are spent collecting geographic health data, but this information rarely reaches the exam room. Harnessing location data and adding it to health records could help people and doctors make smarter, safer choices.
